Ministers

My number one goal is to assist couples in designing a custom ceremony that will meet and exceed expectations. One of the challenges of planning a wedding is finding new and creative ways to make your celebration unique. An exciting venue, personalized dé cor or unique reception can make your truly special day an even more memorable.  I help couples keep energy and uniqueness in their event, and offer many fresh ideas that help ensure their wedding is unforgettable.

I've earned three university degrees, advanced certification, nationally respected ordination, sat on several Boards of Directors, and demonstrated leadership in civic and professional affairs. Within my church's denomination, I hold regional office and am an instructor in their program leading to licensure.

I'm an oddbination: a former engineer and business manager who is also a romantic and now an ordained wedding officiant. In mid-career, I left all that was familiar to enter the ministry. My wife and I met in high school, married a year after graduating, raised three children, and have been rewarded with grandchildren. We began our marriage in St. Louis, Missouri have lived in Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nevada, and conducted business or vacationed in most of the fifty States. Our years together have been good and fantastic. Through one another we've learned a lot about ourselves and life and about how little we knew that we thought we knew. We're still taking risks and discovering and growing in this wonderful thing called marriage.

Unlike other officiants, I try to limit myself to one wedding each week, giving personal attention to each bride. And I&rsquo m able to hold my fees down to $300 per wedding plus $50 per rehearsal because I&rsquo m employed as the minister of a local church. This is a good balance for me, enjoyable and energetic on all sides. I think it&rsquo s a good balance for you, too, affording a true professional at low-to-mid cost.

You'll find that my experience, demeanor, style and the warmth of my voice will be wee features of your wedding ceremony.
